There is now a long list of issues to get the Ganglia packages up to date:

Debian/Ubuntu:
- updating to v3.7.x
- packaging various new JavaScript dependencies
- adapting to work with PHP 7 packages
- adapting/testing with systemd (see my recent email on debian-devel
about invoke-rc.d failing on gmond during upgrades[1])
- adapting to Apache 2.4 (some work already done for that)
- review of other ganglia-web bugs[2]
- review of other ganglia-monitor bugs[3]
- combining the alioth and Github repositories (Debian/Ubuntu work on a
branch in Github)

Fedora
- review issues listed here[3]

Other work related to release and packaging:
- do some more autotools cleanup on monitor-core so it is easier to
release in future
- new release of ganglia-modules-linux

Altogether, there are several days of work in really attacking these
things comprehensively, testing the new versions, testing against other
things that have changed in the distributions (PHP 7, Apache, etc) and
sponsoring the uploads and unfortunately, none of the organizations I
currently work with would sponsor that time in full.

Is there anybody in the wider Ganglia community who may want to help
with these efforts or make a crowdfunding contribution to fund the work?

Please feel free to email me privately if you would like to propose
something.  If you would like to make a contribution that is contingent
on a particular bug fix or feature request please feel free to mention
that too.

Because of the change to PHP 7 in Debian and Ubuntu, they will not
include the packages at all in the next major releases if they haven't
been updated.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
